Tesco's 'gorgeous' and 'beautiful' £25 midi dress looks 'stunning on'
Tesco shoppers are heaping praise on a "stunning" dress they've seen online. The retailer's own F&F Clothing range is selling the dress for £25, sparking excitement among customers keen to snap it up.
TikTok user Annabelle (@annabellevictoriax) shared a clip showcasing the dress online. Her post was captioned: "We are going to the races."
The dress featured in the clip is the F&F Polka Dot Ruffle Midi Dress in Ivory. It has an overall polka dot pattern, ruffle trims and a split hem.
Alternatively, shoppers can snap up the satin halterneck maxi dress with cowl back detail in rust from ASOS for £50. New Look has the £33.99 Olive Satin Twist Back Slip Midi Dress, while Next stocks the Lime Green Textured Satin Halter Sleeveless Midi Dress for £55.
The video racked up 71.6k views, more than 18,000 likes and many comments from excited fans. Beneath Annabelle's post, one person said: "You look absolutely stunning" and a second wrote: "I've got this for hol and it's stunning on."
A third added: "That looks so nice I may have to get it", and a fourth wrote: "It looks beautiful." A fifth comment read: " Pure perfection," and a sixth said: "Looks stunning on you."
Another said: "Just goes to show you don't have to spend silly money on designer dresses as that is gorgeous."
The praise continued, with one shopper writing: "Wow that dressing looks stunning on. When she posted it in Tesco I liked but didn't think it was that nice to buy but it looks so expensive and classy on I love it and now I want it."
The dress was also featured in a clip from Julia (@the_julia_edit). The post was captioned: "F&F Try On. If you like a bit of monochrome you'll like this reel @fandfclothing. I'm wearing a size 10 in all the dresses and a medium in the cover up."
Among the comments, one person said: "It's such a lovely fit and so pretty on," and a second wrote: "I have the white one too it's so so lovely."
However, some shoppers shared their disappointment with Tesco, particularly around pricing and sizes. One person said: "Tesco's have gone expensive."
A second wrote: "Gorgeous girl, dresses look fab. we definitely don't have these in Tesco here, Belfast." Another wrote: "Half of the clothes are out of stock or in size 8 or 18."
Despite this, others praised the dress. One shopper said: "All beautiful but I really loved the black off the shoulder and white polka dot."

Tesco shoppers discover 'MIRACLE in a bottle' hair spray that rivals Color Wow for just £5: 'Tackles the frizz and leaves hair smooth!'
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Beauty lovers are going wild after Tesco dropped a £5 alternative for the viral Color Wow Dream Coat – and the reviews are glowing. Shiny, frizz-free hair has long been the holy grail of celebrity beauty. Look at Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and even Claudia Winkleman or the endless 'glass hair' videos trending on TikTok. Leo Bancroft Wonder Coat Spray 150ml Using heat-activated polymer technology, the spray is said to create an invisible waterproof shield to repel humidity and lock in sleekness, making it a perfect choice for those with frizz-prone locks. Plus, it also doubles up as a heat protectant and shine booster. £5 (£3.50 Clubcard Price) Shop Now, Tesco has come through with a 'game-changing' product promising silky smooth strands in mere minutes and without the hefty price tag. Introducing Leo Bancroft's Wonder Coat Spray, a £5 hair mist designed to deliver professional-quality results at home. Normally priced at just £5, it's currently on offer for £3.50 with a Tesco Clubcard until August 5 - that's a massive saving of £23.50 compared to Color Wow's £27 arrangement. The brain behind the budget haircare range is none other than Leo Bancroft, award-winning celebrity stylist and TV favourite. His new Tesco-exclusive haircare line includes shampoos, conditioners and treatments tailored to every hair type, from curl creams to glossing masks, all under £10. But it's the Miracle Wonder Coat Spray stealing the spotlight as a solution for sleek strands, with fans calling it 'a total game-changer'. Using heat-activated polymer technology, the spray is said to create an invisible waterproof shield to repel humidity and lock in sleekness, making it a perfect choice for those with frizz-prone locks. Plus, it also doubles up as a heat protectant and shine booster. And it's already proving popular with Tesco shoppers who have given it a near-perfect 4.9-star rating. 'Frizz-Free Shine in Seconds!' wrote one reviewer. 'I've been using the Leo Bancroft Wonder Coat Smoothing Spray and it's amazing! 'It tames frizz instantly and leaves my hair looking sleek and shiny without feeling greasy. Perfect for quick touch-ups or before styling.' 'I love how this spray smooths my hair and reduces frizz instantly,' a second shopper wrote. 'It gives a soft, sleek finish without feeling heavy or greasy.' 'Excellent product, does exactly what it says on the bottle, my hair is only ever this smooth after a visit to a salon. Salon quality at home!' another shopper raved. A fourth agreed, writing: ' Miracle in a bottle. Such a fantastic little spray, used it for the first time and already can see, which a noticeable difference in my wild hair.' Curious if the hype matched the results, I put it to the test. Straight off the bat, it couldn't be easier to use. After sectioning my damp hair and blow-drying with my trusty Dyson Supersonic, the effects were instant: serious shine, little to no frizz - especially at the crown, where my fine strands usually misbehave - and that just-left-the-salon finish. But best of all? I didn't have to follow with straighteners to see the effects, unlike with similar smoothing treatments. All it took was the Miracle Wonder Coat Spray, a brush, and a hair dryer. Nor did it leave my hair feeling sticky or heavy - even after a few generous spritzes. The scent is subtle (and does fade slightly throughout the day), but the shine and smoothness? It stuck around all day long. I wash my hair often since it's so fine and gets greasy fast, so I can't speak for its effect past 24 hours. But by day two, even after a restless night, my hair still looked noticeably smoother than usual. The hype? It's absolutely warranted. For a fiver, it actually delivers. If you're after a budget-friendly smoothing treatment to add polish and shine on a budget, Leo Bancroft's Wonder Coat Spray, £5, could be your new go-to.

RuPaul's Drag Race star rushed to hospital after 'homophobic' attack at Tesco
A RuPaul's Drag Race UK star has reportedly been assaulted at a supermarket after receiving 'homophobic abuse'. Pixie Polite, whose real name is Mark Wickens, said they were punched by a man inside a Tesco store in London on Monday night.

'Feeling a little groggy today, and have taken the day off to rest and process what happened. 'Overall I'm pretty much fine but I am feeling the same sense of righteous indignation I felt last night. So please enjoy this picture of me looking like a bad ass, while I daydream about justice today.' Responding beneath, one fan @carlycheers22 wrote: 'I'm absolutely heartbroken that this happened to you. Sending you so much love and the biggest hugs.'

Is this crude new podcast really what BBC Scotland should be making?
The series was filmed last year, before the scandal broke. The BBC says it is only fair to contestants to show it. They, after all, did nothing wrong. It will be weird, though. At first, viewers will not quite believe what they are seeing. I had a similar experience with a new homegrown BBC product, Situationships. It's a podcast hosted by author and nurse Sophie Gravia and author and television personality Christine McGuinness. Made at BBC Scotland's Pacific Quay HQ, each new half-hour episode is available on BBC Sounds and 'fully visualised' on the [[BBC Scotland]] channel and BBC iPlayer. Gravia and McGuinness are agony aunts, advising viewers on everything from flirty text messages to friendships gone stale. And I do mean everything. I refer those interested to the story about the first date and the poppered body suit. The opening titles are done in the soft focus style of those adverts for adult stations you'd see in the early days of multi-channel television. It's all in keeping with the show's up-for-a-laugh attitude as the duo help viewers navigate 'the toughest, most outrageous and downright weird scenarios that life can serve up'. Now at this point I could say something snarky involving the phrase 'Reithian values', but let's be grown-ups here. Situationships could have been precision-engineered to have the likes of me collapsing on the fainting couch we keep in the front parlour for such occasions. As McGuinness says, 'on this pod anything goes', and that includes F-bombs. Adding to its defence, [[BBC Scotland]] is only doing what everyone else is and jumping on the podcast bandwagon. Why not? We cannot get enough of them. What was at first a form of cheap radio has migrated to television and online, and now it's coming to an auditorium near you. If you want to see Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart in The Rest is Politics at the SEC Armadillo in Glasgow in November, for example, a full price ticket was being advertised yesterday at close to £90. Read more As for the swearing on Situationships, you hear similar on Miss Me? Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver's podcast, and they are up for a British Podcast Award. To recap, podcasts are of the moment, potentially lucrative, suit the changing ways viewers and listeners consume content, and swearing on radio and TV is nothing new. You can even hear the US president doing it on the news. Put it like that, and BBC Scotland should be congratulated on taking the initiative with Situationships. It was, after all, its producers who went to Gravia with the idea. Put it like that, and people like me ought to wind our necks in. It's just one show after all, and the BBC is a broad church that caters for many different tastes. Moreover, having watched every episode so far, I can say Gravia and McGuinness are a likeable, funny duo and good luck to them for earning a crust, any crust, in this media landscape. Having said all that, why does this feel like a canary in the coal mine moment for BBC Scotland? Let's start with the swearing. Not cool, particularly on screen. Swearing is fine, if not to everyone's taste, if it's a drama or comedy. In some programmes, The Thick of It/Succession, it has been raised to an art form. But most people would flinch if someone swore loudly in a supermarket or another public place. The same applies to broadcasting. Two people sitting in a studio swearing is ugly, jarring, and unnecessary. More depressing than the swearing is what Situationships says about BBC Scotland's direction of travel, and what it thinks audiences want. Peter Capaldi in The Thick of It (Image: This is a channel, remember, that asked for and received permission from Ofcom to make deep cuts in its peak-time news provision. Out went the hour-long and well-regarded The Nine, in came a half-hour news reheat show at 7pm on BBC Scotland, and the Scotcast podcast. The BBC said the changes would 'play to our strengths as an innovative broadcaster that delivers high-quality journalism to audiences across all our platforms'. How's that working out, then? One growth area is true crime podcasts, which admittedly BBC Scotland does well. But there are quite a few now, among them a recently announced six-part series on the late heroin dealer, Mags Haney. Any more true crime and it will be back to the tired old days when the west of Scotland was known for nothing more than gangs and violence. BBC Scotland is also the channel that swung the axe on River City. When viewers complained, they were told this was all to the good. BBC Scotland was keeping up with the changes in the industry; no one wanted long-running series any more. The money would be going instead on short-run, Netflix-style, high-quality - there's that phrase again - dramas. And anyway, River City wasn't making the numbers and did not offer 'value for money'. I asked BBC Scotland for viewing and listening figures for Situationships, without success. Since it looks like it costs about fifty pence to make, the show probably ticks the box marked value for money. And so a precedent is set. Cheap is in. Cheap is doable. Cheap is good. No one benefits from such an approach. Least of all fans of River City, many of them elderly, or the many working-class youngsters who might have got a precious start in the industry via the soap. But never mind the losses, let's have a chortle at Situationships instead, because that's what BBC Scotland thinks we want. Funny thing is, I don't know who Situationships is for, and I'd bet BBC Scotland doesn't have a clue either. The Holy Grail 18-25 cohort would find it laughable. It's just another ill-considered leap into an already crowded market, one that risks dragging standards down further at a time when they have never been more important - to audiences and the BBC. Whatever future was imagined when the BBC Scotland channel was launched, it was surely not this. Alison Rowat is a Herald feature writer and columnist
